Police said that at 1:23 p.m., Officer Gregory Seibert responded to the Walmart on Baltimore Pike for a report of a male inhaling dust remover -- also known as "huffing" -- in the men's restroom.

Walmart employees called 911 after noticing a strong chemical odor in the rear of the store that burned their throats and eyes. When they checked the men's restroom, they found Wentz in a stall inhaling dust remover, police said.

Seibert arrived and found Wentz locked in a stall huffing from two cans of dust remover spray he had taken from the store, police said.

Seibert kicked in the stall door after Wentz refused to unlock it. Wentz then aggressively resisted and fought with Seibert who used a Taser, which allowed him to get Wentz handcuffed, police said.

During the struggle, Seibert's badge was bent and torn from his uniform and his glasses were damaged. Seibert was not injured; Wentz received a small abrasion on his face, police said.
